While we are sort of on the subject, make sure your whistle isn't in your mouth in case you do get hit. I've haven't kept mine in since my first game, and I'm glad because I have taken the occasional shot.

My wreck league I play for, no jump ball.

Visitors get ball first, home team gets 2 of the next 3.

In 1982 Chaminade shocked the hoops world with their upset of top-ranked Virginia. The referee for the game was my assigner the last few years in Hawaii. He's maybe 5'7". On the opening toss Ralph Sampson's knee hit him in the elbow. He said he spent the first 5-6 minutes of the game calling everything lefthanded because he could barely move his right arm.

I pick a spot in the air about 4 feet higher than the taller of the two jumpers, then concentrate on using one hand to "shot put" the ball to that spot. It works pretty well.

This thread reminds me about my first college game.

The two jumpers were about 6'9" each, I'm thinking to myself, "these guys can probably get up there, so toss it high"

I think I put the ball within about 6" of the roof!

Needless to say....I called that toss back and did it over.

Guess no one stole THAT toss!
